I teach judo in Tokyo.

A large group of people had a great time soaking in the water.

Apart from three people—Sousuke, Motoko Itako, and Saki Yotsuba.

The reason is the same: they're not used to taking a bath with so many people.

Motoko Itsuka and Saki Yotsuba are both daughters of wealthy families, so how could they possibly be so carefree as to gather in a hot spring?

Even if they separate the soup for men and women, it won't work.

As for Sosuke, he simply couldn't accept being naked and face-to-face with a bunch of unfamiliar people.

Not to mention the bunch of burly men from the Kendo and Judo clubs.

After all, he was a native of southern China in his previous life and had not been influenced by the bathhouse culture of the north.

However, he would be okay with going to the women's bath.

Unfortunately, there's also the risk of being seen as a pervert.

I'd rather go back to my room and get some sleep.

And he actually did it.

......

It was late at night.

The moonlight was bright and clear, all was quiet, and Hinata Manor had fallen into hibernation.

While everyone else, exhausted, was fast asleep, in a corner room on the third floor of Hinata Manor...

As Yotsuba Saki drifted off to sleep, her sleeping face serene, her right hand seemed to have a mind of its own, swiftly and decisively raising itself to precisely remove the glasses she hadn't taken off even while asleep.

Then, she slowly opened her eyes, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

She had only taken off her glasses, but her entire demeanor seemed to have changed completely.

The shy, introverted, ostrich-like expression that had been there before vanished.

All that remains is a captivating and alluring, quirky and mischievous feeling.

She's like a little succubus.

It's obvious that she's no longer Yotsuba Saki, but Emi.

"Kukuku!"

She sat up with a smirk: "I've finally gotten my chance to switch."

She jumped out of bed, tiptoed quickly to get dressed, grabbed a towel, and then sneaked out the door and went downstairs.

Downstairs in the lobby, the beautiful female store manager, who was dozing off at the counter, didn't see Hui Mei sneaking away.

Compared to the timid and seemingly slow-witted Yotsuba Saki, Emi's movements were surprisingly agile and precise. She quickly opened the back door of Hinata Manor and went outside.

"Hehe, they're all fast asleep!"

She breathed a sigh of relief, covered her mouth and chuckled, then happily strode through the dark training ground and arrived at the open-air hot spring, which was still illuminated by dim lanterns.

"Yotsuba Saki is so shy, she doesn't even dare to soak in such a nice hot spring. What a pity! Let me fulfill her little desire deep in her heart!"

Since it was the middle of the night and she didn't need to worry about her classmates' opinions, Emi went directly to the VIP small hot spring pool, which was separate from the men's and women's baths.

In the summer, the hot spring water, which seems to never cool down, rises with thick steam, making people feel as if they are in a thick fog.

Emi casually walked a few steps and came to the side of a huge rock.

Amidst the swirling mist, she mischievously removed her casual clothes, instinctively covering her private parts, and cheerfully approached the hot spring pool.

She excitedly reached out her little hand and touched the spring water.

Then, it flinched slightly, startled by the slightly hotter hot spring water.

However, the point of coming here is to soak in hot springs, and that's the kind of hot feeling that's truly enjoyable.

Hui Mei's face showed great surprise, and she hurriedly put her fair little feet into the spring water, her whole body trembling slightly.

A joyful expression appeared on his face.

He couldn't help but sigh softly, "That was so much fun!"

Then, she leaned forward and stood in the hot spring, letting out a comfortable sigh.

"Ah—this feels so good!"

On the other side of the hot spring, next to a large rock.

Atobe Sousuke, who was sitting in the hot spring with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

A hint of panic appeared on his face.

Holy crap, what's going on?!

***

Chapter 135 Sosuke and Emi Go Go Go!

Atobe Sousuke, who was sitting in the hot spring with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

A hint of panic appeared on his face.

What's going on? I came to soak in the hot springs at 2 AM, and I still managed to bump into someone!?

That's right, he still came to soak in the hot springs.

Just kidding. Sosuke, who had never even soaked in a hot spring in his past life, would never miss this rare opportunity to do so.

However, he has a long-standing, good habit of being poor – traveling during off-peak hours.

The same attractions and services, when crowded with tourists, result in everyone not getting a perfect experience.

If I just go during off-peak hours, and wait until those excited high school students have had their fun and are back in bed sleeping, then I can come and soak in the water. Wouldn't that be like being in paradise?

Even Sousuke couldn't help but admire his own genius.

The only thing I didn't expect was that there were actually experts among them!

This is troublesome!

I wish I hadn't come to this VIP hot spring pool just because of the nice environment!

If you're on the men's side, even if you happen to encounter a fellow off-peak expert who's just as clever as you, you can simply greet them openly and enjoy the experience together.

Now that I'm going to die, I'm afraid people will think I'm a pervert!

He shrank into the hot spring, leaving only his mouth and nose above the water, minimizing his size as much as possible to avoid being discovered.

Then he began to wait patiently, hoping that the girl, whose identity he didn't know, would finish her soak and leave as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, Sosuke carefully recalled the voice he heard and felt that the person's voice sounded quite familiar.

'It sounds just like Saki's voice, but Saki would never speak in this tone...'

Sosuke thought to himself, 'Whoever it is, I'd better get out of here quickly. It's the middle of the night; it wouldn't be good if I ran into a pervert!'

Most importantly, it wouldn't be good if I accidentally provoked myself to turn into a wolf.

He tried his best to hide behind the rock while praying.

As a result, what you fear most is what comes to pass.

The girl in the mist, whose location was unknown, began to swim back and forth in the hot spring, chuckling softly and splashing water.

'Oh my god! No way! Just stay put!'

Even though he was in the warm spring water, Sosuke was still so frightened that a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He felt that the day he would be utterly disgraced was probably tonight!

And so, helplessly, after a few seconds that felt like an eternity, he watched as a dazzling, pale white body broke through the mist, swam past the rocks, and reached him!

We have no choice but to take action!

He leaped up, and amidst the splashing water, reached out and grabbed the frightened girl. Then, with his other hand, he swiftly chopped at her neck in a chop motion.

Before she can see me clearly, knock her unconscious!

However, I haven't learned this move, and I don't know the strength of it. If I hit someone with it, I might be paralyzed or even die.

I'm sorry, but compared to my reputation, I have no choice but to take a gamble!

I'm so sorry! Poor girl!

The next second, his hand suddenly stopped, barely touching the girl's fair neck.

"Saki, it's you!?"

In the nick of time, Sosuke finally saw the girl's face clearly at the last moment.

Although her alluring face resembled a tempting red rose, Sousuke had seen this face of hers once before, without her glasses.

She is without a doubt Saki Yotsuba!

Unlike Sousuke, Yotsuba Saki was not calm. In her panic, she opened her mouth to scream.

Then, Sousuke, who reacted quickly, covered her mouth.

“Saki, it’s me, Sousuke!” he said urgently in a deep voice.

After taking a closer look and seeing that it was indeed Atobe Sousuke, Emi finally calmed down a little.

fine......

No way! I'm not Saki!!!

The girl in his arms, who had calmed down, suddenly began to struggle violently again.

Sousuke Atobe watched speechlessly as his usually well-behaved and obedient classmate became so agitated, and was about to reluctantly let go of her.

But then I heard the sound again.

"You all stay here and keep watch, don't let anyone come over."

It was the same female voice, clear and cold, and it sounded somewhat familiar.

Then came two quick female voices replying.

Sosuke immediately pressed down on his little classmate in his arms again, his expression becoming even more distraught.

It is the Five Elements!

Holy crap, why is she coming over in the middle of the night?!

You two young ladies both enjoy soaking in hot springs at night?

Hearing the voice of the newcomer, Emi in his arms froze and dared not move.

She was even afraid of making a sound if she moved, so she reached out and hooked her arms around Sosuke's neck to hold him still.

Feeling uneasy, Sosuke slowly hugged his little classmate and shrank back, hiding in the corner of the boulder where the view was more concealed.

The two of them hid together behind the rocks, with Sosuke leaning against the rock wall and Emi clinging to him.

The two of them were so tense that their whole bodies were taut.

I didn't dare to breathe loudly.

At that moment, soft footsteps sounded, and Wufang Suzi had already reached the edge of the pool.

A rustling sound arose.

Body size stats: 86, 57, 87.

For some reason, the physical attributes of the kendo girl that Sousuke had seen before popped into his mind.

Then, an embarrassing scene involuntarily began to form in his mind.

The tall and slender Motoko Gofuku, bathed in an inexplicable holy light, gracefully swayed her perfectly long legs as she stepped into the hot spring pool...

[Current Status: Extremely Excited]

A long-awaited system notification suddenly appeared.

Sosuke's expression froze, and he silently turned his head away, revealing an extremely embarrassed look on his face.

Emi, who was in his arms, was worried that she would slip into the water and make a sound, which would cause the company to die.
